We’re saying goodbye to summer, and welcoming the cold, breezy autumn weather. In September, the team flew to Singapore for the major event of the year, Token2049. Not only that, we had exciting NFT XCM updates to share, announcing the winners of our Spark Fest Summer Campaign and lots more! Sit back and dive into everything below:

First Cross-Chain NFT Transfers are Here (in dev environment)!

During Polkadot Decoded Asia and Token2049, we were thrilled to announce the first Cross-Chain NFT transfers in a developer environment — a groundbreaking milestone for the Polkadot and Unique ecosystem, enabling developers to experience this tech first-hand.

Interested parachains and developers can be added to the developer environment to develop NFT XCM functionality and test cross-chain NFT transfers across Asset Hub and Unique Network.

See our full announcement post here to catch up to date:

What is NFT XCM?

NFT XCM is a groundbreaking initiative developed by Unique Network, designed to simplify the transfer of NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) across parachains. Using Polkadot’s Cross-Chain Messaging enables seamless movement between different chains, NFT XCM is not just expanding accessibility but also unlocking new possibilities for creators, developers, and users alike.

That’s not all, we’ve also been featured in many publications and platforms, check out these highlights:

CodeCraft Recipient, MuiscMoon is live on Unique and Moonbeam!
